Lee Chin has hailed Wexford’s latest success over Kilkenny as “massive” as they look forward to Sunday’s League quarter-final.

Wexford knocked Kilkenny out of both the League and Leinster Championship two years ago, their first victories over them in 13 years, though Brian Cody’s side turned the tables on them last year, winning all three meetings.

But Wexford’s success at Wexford Park on Sunday appears to be have been a significant one ahead of what is likely to be a pivotal Leinster Championship meeting at the same ground in June.

Chin, who slotted 0-3 on Sunday, said: “It’s massive. We don’t underestimate Kilkenny at all and we don’t underestimate the victories that we get over them now and again.

“Over the last number of years it has been a 50-50 battle where two teams are coming together and are leaving it all on the field.

“We don’t know what way it is going to go now on a day when we come together, Kilkenny have won some, we have won some, every day we go out it’s just about preparing as best you can for the likes of a Kilkenny.

“They’ve been a force over the last number of years, any team around Ireland coming to play Kilkenny, they are fully prepared for what’s coming. Lookit, we’re delighted with the win today, we won’t take it for granted and look it’s on now to next week.”

Remarkably, the seven-point win was Wexford’s biggest over Kilkenny in 43 years and it came following a 15-point turnaround as they trailed by eight at one stage.

Chin added: “Going out in the second half we just said, ‘Lookit, we’re not losing the battles all over the field so we’ll just go out and do everything simple, bide our time and hopefully get a few scores on the board early in the second half.’

“We trusted ourselves that we’d stay honest going out in the second half. Lookit, it’s a simple game and we wanted to keep fighting our way and being honest in the second half, like we thought we were in the first half.”
